It looks like you're hard coding the width of the article windows. It's rather annoying to have to use the horizontal scroll bar for every line of text.How about letting the width stay soft so it will fill the browser window?Or maybe this is just a nasty IE 5 thing?-m...

Can somebody please send me the wwwthreads code that you used for the (vbcode) thing?<br/>My e-mail = tom@e-bizinternet.com<br/>Tom Young<br/>tom@-e-bizinternet.com<br/>Kid Programmer - <br/>PERL, Javascript, VB, and little Borland C++

despite all the bad comments that i have read since the changeover,i have noticed a large increase in the responses at the message boards. sometimes so fast that a response is already posted in the amount of time it takes to refresh my browser. So to all those who spend their free time helping other...

This is getting pathetic. I have to look at non-formatted articles in Zip files in order to see anything new. I used to enjoy looking every other day or so in the Latest Updates section to see what was new. Now it is too much of a chore. I really think that the Latest Updates section needs to be the...

I haven't seen a class on that matter but I think it is very important. Maybe next contest should be from it (if there ever is next contest).<br/>Tomaz

Could you please return us the previous jobs database instead of a link to Dice's 1.000.000 job database. The old job database had no more then 200 postings a month but they were closely related to the topic (MFC), the latest jobs were easy to trace and jobs were international. Seriously, if yo...

Search engine of dev-archive is not working . for any search it's not finding any match

I am constantly having a problem with the emails notification of answers to the post when they contain Visual C code. The problem is that if the answered post that is email to me does not contain any code (I mean does not contain [ccode] and [/code] tags) than it is fine and ok, but if that postl co...

I kept getting 0 results for my searches so I searched on the term "window" figuring it would be used a few thousand times here, and I still got 0 results.We cannot expect to get new people to come to this site if the search returns 0 results for the info they are interested in.Birch...

Zafir, you are the moderator of this feedback forum.Do you still exist? If so, give us some proof. A simple message regarding your role in the EarthWeb would be much appreciated. My guess is that your role in EarthWeb is dead. Please post a response to the Feedback forum, if you are indeed the moder...

So what happened to the dev-archive Contest Winners Annoucement?

I would suggest that a forum is made for<br/>1. Borland C++ Builder<br/>2. Win32 api:s discussions<br/>besides that, I want to thank for a really nice forum

The link to http://dev-archive.developer.com/vb/comments/106.shtml does not work<br/>Does this page still exist?<br/>If so, can you send me a link to the correct URL.<br/>Cheers<br/>M@

PLEASE? good advice on Perl, CGI and web programming forums is not easy to come by. Books on the subject matter tend not to be able to respond favorably to "how to..." questions, and I, for one (and what it's worth) would definitely enjoy contributing by answering questions within my ability if...

The markup tags ccode and pre are supposed to preserve formatting, but they have a couple of problems. First, they don't preserve blank lines, so any code you enter gets munged up. Second, they use a proportional font, so indentation and formatting of tabular info becomes iffy as well. If they...

Is there any change you can send me the PERL source to make those work? I have started a [ccode] and a [vbcode] but they are not that good.<br/>Please and Thanx!<br/>Tom Young<br/>tyoung@stny.rr.com<br/>Kid Programmer - <br/>PERL, Javascript, VB, and little MSVC++

Could you please do something with the format of the articles in the dev-archive section so that you can print them on letter paper (portrait) in Netscape 4.7 or IE 5. Currently when you print an article the line width is so long that IE and Netscape truncate the line, making a hard copy useless.Sys...

Is there any way I can get automatic notification of updates to specific dev-archive pages or articles? For example, I am using the published Syntax Highlighting stuff, and keep on checking each thread of each of the comments, and each comment for each of the comments etc. It would be great if I cou...

I like this Bulletin Board because it allows us to give Rating on the reply.<br/>I would like to ask where can I download or purchase this Bulletin Board ?

I think it would be great if there was a section in profile thread/forum listing (or even a separate section) where we could select threads to be watched.Suppose i post a question, and person1 replies to it. If person2 replies to person1's post (perhaps to correct or complete person1's rep...

We can find repeated solutions here. That's not a major issue, and probably already suggested, but when replying to a post, dev-archive.com could create a forward/import-to-thread option, where it would make a link to the post already made, avoiding to retype everything again.--Nuno Tavareshtt...

When I tried to submit a new article to the address you have listed on your site it bounced back with this message twice over two days:--------When trying to deliver your message, the mail server at dev-archive.com encounteredproblems with the following address:For <submit@dev-archive.com>, th...

Don't get the following wrong, I appreciate dev-archive being around and it has proven a valuable resource many times in the past however...Instead of worrying about the comments section (which anyone can ignore if they don't like them anyway), how about fixing the articles themselves so t...

dev-archive long suffered from invisible text, which occurs when the HTML (or any interface, for that matter) sets the background color without setting the text color.The result is that the OS's normal background color gets overridden, but text will be displayed in whatever color the OS normall...

I just noticed that replies to my posts, which arrive by mail, have the Reply-To filled with my email. Wouldn't it be more usefull if it came along with the author's email - if (!Anonymous)?Profile could have some checkboxes with the Forums we put our attention, so there could be a menu wh...

On the dev-archive main page, there is a line of links that say "Ask questions | Forums | Contact Us". I think that the "Ask questions" does not accurately describe the purpose of the link. Perhaps it should be something like "Ask Visual C++ questions". Or perhaps the links should be something l...

I have done many searches and they seem to work well except the searches seem to ignore code. I get no results when I search for text in code; that is, code within "ccode" and "/ccode" tags. Is this a known condition? Assuming that it is and assuming that there will be a future enhancement, I think...

I think that one of the most important issues that need some work is to do more to get follow-ups when people get a solution. A relevant rating from the requestor indicating a good answer would help but in my opinion the most important thing is to get some kind of feedback indicating that I have hel...

Searching the site(not forum) still refers to dev-archive.developer.com instead of coderguru.com --===--I'm not here for the rates, but rating a post is a good way for me to know how much i helped. Private messages will do also. --===--Daniel...

In the login.pl file, i think that under "Your last logon was at: Your total posts: " there should be:"Total Votes given to others""Votes received by others" --===--I'm not here for the rates, but rating a post is a good way for me to know how much i helped. Private messages...

Hi,I would like to set my profile this way:The whole forum should show up as collapsed threads.But when I select a thread I would like to see the posts in "flat" mode.Since you cannot specify that in your profile, I always have to click twice, first on the rootmessage, then on flat mode.Would be nic...

I would like to see a Sent folder for all my messages i sent, And i'd like to preview the messages before they get sent(Just like posts). --===--I'm not here for the rates, but rating a post is a good way for me to know how much i helped. Private messages will do also....

Hi,The problem is: when I search for smth on a main www.dev-archive.com page and specify VC code, it still searches through everything and returns posts from Java and VB section which is very incovenient.I have tried to report this proble to earthweb webmaster but E-Mail address was incorrect.Regard...

Tom,dev-archive forums cater to most "traditional" application/component development. Badly missing are forums for ASP/VBScript/JScript/JavaScript/DHTML. Also missing are forums for stuff like Site Server, Exchange Server, IIS, MTS etc., As you know, using these involves a fair amount of knowledge a...

When a new post is created, the menu bar at the top has:Forum Index | FAQ | Edit Profile | Send Private | Check Private | Search | LogoutWhich includes a search item, but it does not get used as much as it should be. I think that there is enough white space (that is in the area above the area for cr...

Hi,If moderator reads it, I want to ask him to review section contents. I mean submissions. Sometimes it is really tough to find smth. E.g. INI wrapper is under doc-view, registry wrappers are almost everywhere. It should be possible at least to have links to the same articles from different groups....

If I am displaying a user's Profile, it would help to be able to click a button and send them a private message without the necessity of doing a copy and paste of their username.I realize that it would be preferable for us to use regular email, but many users do not supply a regular email addre...

Most first-timers do not realize that they should post to a specific category to get a decent answer. Even regular users miss this point (by oversight). This is why you see all kinds of questions in the AdvancedUI category.I suggest that when I submit a new post, I should be taken to a page that exp...

The problems with the current forum software are well known so I won't go into the details on that. As a result of these problems and standarizing all our sites, dev-archive is looking into using another Forum software package. What I need to know is what you like and dislike about the current...

IMHO, it would be better if dev-archive had some version control feature on its source code, so that others can improve the original source code.To this end, dev-archive can be a place for open-source codebase for Windows developers.As you know, once articles are posted, many others post their bug r...

What credentials are needed to volunteer for help with the site? I am certainly interested.

The [ ccode ] [ /ccode ] markup doesn't really function well ... you can't cut and paste code easily.Many times, it would help if we could put in an attachment to a post. I know this could be a big resource hog. But it's No. 1 on my wish-list.Space could be allocated to each user (say...

Hi,I think that the negative rating system on this forum can be enhanced this way: substitute rating (-1; not useful/wrong/offtopic) with (0; not helped/poor info in the question/...). When a post gets rated as 0 (zero) by three or even more members of the forum (probably with high positive personal...

I find this site essential. I can look up an answer to most of my programming problems. It is helpful to print out the article so I can go through it as read my code. The problem is the format used by the contributors. When a line of text is longer than 80 characters, it gets cut off. I have tried u...

When trying to view the profile for the user "C++programmer", I get a server error. I think it's caused by the '+' characters in the user name. http://dev-archive.developer.com/bbs/wt/showprofile.pl?User=c%2B%2Bprogrammer&Number=86434&Board=vc&what=showpost&page=1&view=collapsed&mode=t...

Would it be possible to have all the feedback posts for an article displayed at the same time? Similar to these discussion forums? It's a bit of a pain to drill down through all the comments.<br/>Thanks,<br/>Glenn

Hi,<br/>printing with netscape V4.x does not work properly on my machine.<br/>The Artikel is move to the right of the paper. Only 1" is visible.<br/>The top banner is correct in placement.<br/>Is there a workaround? Printing html from other site works perfect.<br/>Thanks, Dieter :-)

Hi,<br/>With some of the sections (part. "Other controls") my webbrowser says the page is fully loaded and all I see is the advertisment banner at top. And this does not happen in all sections. Is there something wrong??<br/>Regards,<br/>/Rob

Could you plz remove all traling blanks lines from messages.
